Well i like the answer and there all good... But you will need a long 1/4 drive extension 4-6 inches and a 1/4 wiggler for the intake and exhaust removal...And patience. also make sure you are on # 1 TDC and the rotor is pointed to # 1 wire on cap before tear down. Sure makes life a little easier....
Good Luck!!!
below is a site that will make this easier to do

1. If you are not mechanically inclined and have alot of patience don't even try this yourself. 2. Get a Haynes or Chilton Manual for your car (at most auto parts stores and some book stores). These manuals will tell you everything you need to know and what tools you will need. They will cost you about 15-20 dollars. As a little help form someone who has done this on 3 diff. cars have plent of clean rags and thouroughly clean each part as you take it off. It will take a little more time but putting it back together will be alot quicker. I hope everything works out for you and make sure tocheck the engine block for any cracks once you have made it to the head gasket area (this is important) as you will need a new engine if any of the cylinders are cracked. Good luck.

mostly regular tools, metrics. the timing chain & cover have to come off. so you need, cylinder head gasket, intake & exhaust manifold gaskets, front timing cover gasket, and you should replace front crankshaft seal (it is in cover) once you remove them, the'll leak if not new. check with dealer or parts store, some of the gaskets may come in a kit. the important thing is to check the timimg chain, shoes it rides on and tensioner. if they
are worn, they should be replaced. and make sure the camshafts, chain and crankshaft are timed correctly. you'll definately need a manual for proper proceedures. (i am a GM service advisor and ex-technician, 18 years at a pontiac dealer)

Regular tools nothing out of the ordinary , not a difficult job but I recomend that you buy the repair manual and read it before you start, also have the head resurfaced before putting it back on. Good Luck!
